《Tanya》Water will be fine I watch as he walks to the kitchen then I think to myself god he's so sexy I wouldn't mind being his girlfriend, wait what, what am I saying I shake myself out of my thoughts I smile as Justin comes back
《Justin》Here you go beautiful I hand her, her water and sit next to her so do you want to watch a movie?

《Tanya》I love them
《Justin》OK let's see what's on Netflix I look through Netflix to find a movie, how about Nightmare on Elm Street?
《Tanya》Sure
《Justin》OK I push play on the remote and then sit back on the couch with Tanya when the movie starts I feel Tanya reach over and take my hand in her's I smile at her and think oh my god she's holding my hand are you OK?
《Tanya》Yeah I'm OK Justin?
《Justin》Yeah?
《Tanya》I don't know what we are but I would love to be something more
《Justin》I pause the movie and turn to face her, Tanya what are you saying?
《Tanya》I don't know forget I said anything I turn back to the T.V and I feel a tear run down my face so I wipe it away before Justin sees it but I guess it's to late because he turns my head so I'm facing him
《Justin》Tanya don't cry, you didn't let me say anything what I was going to say is let's go out on a date first and then see where it goes from there OK?
《Tanya》Yeah well I should get going I go to stand up but Justin grabs my hand and pulls me back to him and says
《Justin》Please don't go
《Tanya》Why shouldn't I?
《Justin》Because I like you I really really like you, I look at her and I can't help it I just lean in and kiss her we were kissing totally forgetting the movie but then I remember that if we don't stop this now it could gets to far and we both might regret it so I pull back and look at Tanya and she looks sad again and she says
《Tanya》Why did you stop?
《Justin》Because if I didn't we might regret it later
《Tanya》I won't regret it and I have a feeling you won't either no you know what let's just watch this movie I turn back to the T.V and turn the movie back on and we continue watching it every once in a while I can feel Justin's eyes on me what Justin?
《Justin》I turn off the movie and I get up and hold out my hand to Tanya come with me she takes my hand and she says
《Tanya》Where are we going what about the movie?
《Justin》Just come with me please I take her to Destiny and Rose's room you see these 2 babies in there?
《Tanya》Yeah?
《Justin》They are my everything the day they were born was the best day of my life, but also the day their mother walked out on them was extremely hard on not just me but also on them I called my mother crying because I didn't know what to do I was a single father and I didn't know what to do it was all overwhelming I told my mother I wanted to give them the best life they could possibly have and that's when she asked me are you thinking about giving them up for adoption and I said no mom they're my everything what I mean by wanting to give them a better life is that I want to be the best father that I can possibly be for them my mother was watching them for a week but I knew it wasn't fair on my mother to stay home all day and babysit my kids for me so I had to do what I had to do
《Tanya》What did you have to do?
《Justin》I had to quit my job for them
《Tanya》Do you mind if I ask what you use to do?
《Justin》I was a photographer I took pictures for weddings birthday parties anniversaries baby showers family photos but I had to quit for my daughters I loved my job but I love my daughters more when I told my boss I was quitting he said that I didn't have to quit he was going to give me a year off full pay but I said to him although that's a great offer I have to decline it I have to quit it's for my daughters so once I was done packing up my stuff I walked out the doors for the very last time if I ever had the chance to do it all over again I would choose my daughters over my job any day
《Tanya》I think you are a great father those little girls seem really happy even though I have never seen them awake the first two times I've seen them they've been sleeping, but anyway you said you used to take photos for weddings what was the last wedding you did?
《Justin》It was for some woman named Marissa Jefferson
《Tanya》That's my sister, but anyway continue
《Justin》She was marrying this real peace of shit I was walking passed the room where the bride stays until the wedding starts I heard yelling I didn't mean to eavesdrop but I had to know what the hell was going on he was yelling about something and Marissa said that she didn't even want to marry him but the guy said you'll marry me or I'll kill you, the door was open a crack so I seen what happened
《Tanya》What did happen?
《Justin》He grabbed her and pushed her up against the wall across from the door he held her by the throat and he threatened her he said you will marry me or I'll kill you right here and right now then before he left the room he punched her in the face then he left the room
《Tanya》Did he see you when he left the room?
《Justin》No, but when he was out of site I opened the door and went in to see if she was OK but when she heard the door open she said you got your way Oscar I'm marrying you then I said I'm not Oscar she asked who I was and I said I was the photographer for the wedding and she said you mean this fucking sham of a wedding then when she looked at me I seen it the huge red mark around her eye that was slowly forming into a black eye but before she turned away from me I quickly snapped a picture of the forming black eye
《Tanya》Do you have the picture?
《Justin》Yeah I do I have all the negative of every picture I've took
《Tanya》Can I see it?
《Justin》Sure you go to the living room and I'll get it she nods and walks to the living room and I walk to my bedroom to get the picture once I got the picture I walk back to the living room and sit down with the picture in my hand OK when I show you this please try not to scream I don't want you waking up my daughters she nods so I show her the picture
